After the long tedious process for the. . . What, third time now? Now, she just needed to empty these boxes into their proper places. This here, that there. All the while, she was mostly curious as to what her roommate would be like. About all she knew, is that this mysterious roommate would be a girl when, no, if she showed up. According to past occurrences, that might be a possible outco-

The front door suddenly slammed open, slightly surprising Ami and interrupting her thought process. In the doorway stood a girl wearing a surgical mask over her mouth and carrying a large briefcase behind her.

[b]"Yahoo-"[/b] She started coughing before she could finish, turning back around and slowly closing the door behind her. That introduction would've had a bit more impact if she didn't have a coughing fit and left before it finished. Her coughing fit could be heard through the walls. When she calmed down, Ami heard the girl giving herself a peptalk, telling herself that there was no problem and to just try again.

Once more, the door slammed open and the girl gave a thumbs up.

[b]"Yahooo~! I'm Ikioi Kenko, your roommate. You can call me Kenko!"[/b] She finished excitedly, her nasally voice giving away the fact that she was ill. Ami laughed a little. Not really from humor, but from the awkwardness of the whole ordeal. 

[b]"My name's Yukimura Ami. You new blood?"[/b] She asked the girl. [b]"Freshblo- I mean, Freshman."[/b] Kenko was slightly confused by Ami's reference to blood, but she quickly shook it off. 

[b]"Uh... Oh, yeah,"[/b] she sniffled as she pulled her luggage in and closed the door behind her, [b]"I just got here; it's my first year at Chiharu Uni, Yukimura-san."[/b]

[b]"How fun."[/b] Ami mumbled as her attention turned to Kenko's mask. That and her cough probably meant she was sick or something. She took note of it. Really, she'd never been sick. Back to business, [b]"Well, Kenko, I'm a third year. If you want, you can call me Aneki."[/b] Her hands went down to her side and she made a small laugh, [b]"Shishishi. . ."[/b] Kenko raised an eyebrow at Ami's request, but decided not to question it. 

[b]"Sure, Aneki."[/b]

[b]"Your beds over there anyhow."[/b] Ami said, pointing to the bed on the opposite end of the room from her. Kenko followed Ami's finger with her eyes and spotted the bed. Giving a small salute, she slipped off her shoes in the genkan and pulled her luggage along towards the bed. [b]"If you want,"[/b] Ami interjected, [b]"you can take the mask off in here. Like I'm going to let myself be scared of. . . Uhm, whatever illness you have."[/b] Kenko stopped and glanced at Ami, her face full of suspicion. After thinking about it for a moment, Kenko shrugged and pulled the mask off.

[b]"If you say so, Aneki."[/b]

Tossing her luggage roughly onto the bed, she decided to take the time to look around the room before unpacking. Spotting a clock, she blinked a few times then smiled nervously.

[b]"Uwah, I might be late,"[/b] she said softly to herself before putting her mask back on and rummaging through her bag. [b]"Hey, Aneki. Do you know where the, uh... Fantasy and Japanese Animation class is meeting up?"[/b]

[b]"Fantasy and. . . OH DAMN! I forgot about that."[/b] She jumped up, surprising Kenko with her sudden outburst and movement, and brushed her clothes off with her hands. [b]"Yea, I think I remember where it is."[/b] Opening the door it looked like she had just remembered something, [b]"Oh right, you needed to go too, didn't you Kenko?"[/b] Kenko made a bitter face at that comment and wondered if it was just Ami teasing the freshman.

Ami made a wide, exaggerated motion to Kenko, [b]"Let's go."[/b]
